(4) K-3 Photographs by William Muñoz. Eclipse, a real Seattle-area dog, "narrates" this account of the time she got on a city bus before her human "buddy" Jeff (the book's coauthor) could, and then had the smarts to get off at the dog park. So began a routine that made Eclipse famous. What follows the bus-riding stuff seems like padding, albeit padding illustrated with child-pleasing color photos of doggie doings. Websites.
